C-glycoside derivatives and salts thereof

ABSTRACT

The present invention provides C-glycoside derivatives and salts thereof, wherein B ring is bonded to A ring via —X— and A ring is directly bonded to the glucose residue, and it is usable as a Na + -glucose cotransporter inhibitor, especially for a therapeutic and/or preventive agent for diabetes such as insulin-dependent diabetes (type 1 diabetes) and insulin-independent diabetes (type 2 diabetes), as well as diabetes related diseases such as an insulin-resistant diseases and obesity.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to C-glycoside derivatives and salts thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to C-glycoside derivatives and salts thereof useful as a Na⁺-glucose cotransporter inhibitor. C-glycoside derivatives and salts thereof of the present invention are useful for treatment of various diabetes-related diseases inclusive of insulin-dependent diabetes (type 1 diabetes), insulin-independent diabetes (type 2 diabetes), insulin-resistant diseases and obesity, and the prevention of these diseases.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In recent years, a medicine to inhibit glucose-reabsorption by Na⁺-glucose cotransporters (SGLT) in the intestinal tract and kidney (a Na⁺-glucose cotransporter inhibitor) has been demanded as an antidiabetic agent to rapidly normalize hyperglycemia and improve the energy balance in the body. Such a Na⁺-glucose cotransporter inhibitor has been expected as an excellent agent for treating or preventing various diabetes-related diseases such as insulin-dependent diabetes (type 1 diabetes) and insulin-independent diabetes (type 2 diabetes), as well as insulin-resistant diseases and obesity.

As compounds used for the Na⁺-glucose cotransporter inhibitor, phloridzin described in Welch, C. A. et al. (J. Natr., 1989, 119(11) 1698) and synthetic O-glycoside derivatives described in Hongu, M. et al. (Chem. Pharm. Bull., 1998, 46(1) 22) and JP-A-11-21243 are known, for example. These compounds are reported to discharge excess blood glucose into urine and reduce blood glucose level by inhibiting glucose-reabsorption by Na⁺-glucose cotransporters in the intestinal tract or in the kidney.

However, because any of these compounds is an O-glycoside derivative comprising an O-glucoside bond formed between glucose and an aglycon moiety, it has a problem that the inhibition effect is reduced due to hydrolysis of O-glucoside bond by glucosidase or the like in the small intestine when orally absorbed.

In addition, in the case of phloridin, phloretin, which is an aglycon moiety of phloridin, is known as a strong inhibitor for a facilitated diffusion-type glucose transporter. For example, it is reported that the cerebral glucose concentration decreases when phloretin is administered to the vein of a rat (e.g. Stroke, 1983, 14, 388). Phloretin is also known as an inhibitor of a vitamin C transporter (Wang, Y. et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 2000, 267, 488-494).

Therefore, an attempt has been made to use a C-glycoside prepared by converting oxygen in the glucoside bond of the O-glycoside to carbon as the Na⁺-glucose cotransporter inhibitor.

For example, JP-A-2001-288178 (Patent Document 1) describes that compounds of the following formula are effective in inhibiting Na⁺-glucose cotransporters and are useful as a treating agent or preventing agent for diabetes and a hypoglycemic agent. (Chemical Formula)

wherein R¹ represents H, OH, lower alkyl group, —O-lower alkyl group, or the like; R² represents H, —COO-lower alkyl group, or the like; R⁵ represents —CH₂OH, —CH₂OCOO-lower alkyl group, or the like; A_(l) represents pyridine, furan, thiophene, quinoline, indole, or the like; n is 0, 1, 2, or 3, and m is 0 or 1 (See Patent Document 1 for further details on the symbols of the above formula).

In addition, the pamphlet of WO 01/27128 (Patent Document 2) describes that a compound of the following formula can be used as the Na⁺-glucose cotransporter inhibitor to treat obesity or type 2 diabetes. (Chemical Formula)

wherein R¹, R², and R^(2a) individually represent a hydrogen atom, OH, OR⁵, alkyl, CF₃, OCHF₂, OCF₃, or the like; R³ and R⁴ individually represent a hydrogen atom, OH, OR^(5a), —O-aryl, —O—CH₂-aryl, alkyl, cycloalkyl, CF₃, or the like; A represents O, S, NH, or (CH₂)_(n), and n is 0, 1, 2, or 3 (See Patent Document 2 for further details on the symbols of the above formula).

As explained above, the C-glycoside derivatives are useful to a certain extent for treating diabetes due to the effect of inhibiting a Na⁺-glucose cotransporter. However, due to the recent rise in incidence of diabetes which is a lifestyle-related disease and could even be called one of the most popular diseases in Japan, compounds having a chemical structure different from that of known compounds and showing the effect of inhibiting Na⁺-glucose cotransporters more rapidly and more significantly have been increasingly desired for the clinical practice of diabetes treatment or the like.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

Since C-glycoside derivatives and the salts thereof (the compounds of the present invention) have the effects of inhibiting a Na⁺-glucose cotransporter and reducing the level of blood glucose, these compounds are useful for treating or preventing diabetes such as insulin-dependent diabetes (type 1 diabetes) and insulin-independent diabetes (type 2 diabetes), insulin-resistant diseases, and obesity, for example, as a medicine, particularly as a Na⁺-glucose cotransporter inhibitor.

The significant effects of inhibiting a Na⁺-glucose cotransporter and reducing the blood glucose of the compound of the present invention have been confirmed by the following pharmacological tests (Test Examples 1 and 2).

Test Example 1

[Inhibition of Human Na⁺-Glucose Cotransporter (Human SGLT2) Activity]

(1) Preparation of Human SGLT 2 Expression Vector

First, single-strand cDNA was reversely transcripted from total RNA originating from the human kidney (manufactured by BD Biosciences Clontech) using a Superscript II (manufactured by Invitrogen Corporation) and a random hexamer. Second, using the cDNA as a template, a DNA fragment encoding a human SGLT2 (Wells, R. G. et al., Am. J. Physiol., 1992, 263(3) F459) was amplified by the PCR reaction using Pyrobest DNA polymerase (manufactured by Takara Bio Inc.). That is, a Hind III site and an EcoRI site were inserted into the 5′ side and the 3′ side of the DNA fragment, respectively by using primers.

The amplified fragment was cloned into a pCR2.1-Topo vector using a Topo TA Cloning Kit (manufactured by Invitrogen Corporation) and the cloned vector was transfected into a competent cell of Escherichia coli JM109. Ampicillin-resistant clones were cultured in a LB medium containing ampicillin (100 mg/l). A plasmid was purified from the cultured Escherichia coli using the method of Hanahan (see Maniatis et al., “Molecular Cloning”). A DNA fragment for encoding a human SGLT2 was obtained by the Hind III/EcoRI digestion of the plasmid and ligated and cloned to the same site of the expression vector pcDNA 3.1 (manufactured by Invitrogen Corporation) using a DNA ligase (manufactured by Roche Diagnostics). The ligated clone was transfected into a competent cell of Escherichia coli JM109 in the same manner as described above and cultured in a LB medium containing ampicillin, and a human SGLT2 expression vector was obtained using the method of Hanahan.

(2) Preparation of Human SGLT2 Expressed Cells

The human SGLT2 expression vector was transfected into a CHO-K1 cell using Lipofectamine2000 (manufactured by Invitrogen Corporation). The cell was cultured in a Ham's F12 medium (manufactured by Nissui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) containing penicillin (50 IU/ml, manufactured by Dainippon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), streptomycin (50 μg/ml, manufactured by Dainippon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), Geneticin (40 μg/ml, manufactured by Invitrogen Corporation), and 10% fetal bovine serum in the presence of 5% CO₂ at 37° C. for two weeks, and Geneticin-resistant clones were obtained. A cell which stably expresses the human SGLT2, which exhibits sodium-dependent intake of methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside, was obtained (See the following paragraphs for the method for measuring the methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside intake).

(3) Inhibition of methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside Intake

After removing the medium of a CHO cell which stably expresses the human SGLT2, a pretreatment buffer solution (buffer solution of pH 7.4 containing choline chloride (140 mM), potassium chloride (2 mM), calcium chloride (1 mM), magnesium chloride (1 mM), 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)1-piperazinyl] ethanesulfonic acid (10 mM), and tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (5 mM)) was added in the amount of 100 μl per well, and incubated at 37° C. for 20 minutes.

11 μl of methyl-α-D-(U-14C)glucopyranoside (manufactured by Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) was mixed with 1,000 μl of a buffer solution for intake containing a test compound (buffer solution of pH 7.4 containing sodium chloride (140 mM), potassium chloride (2 mM), calcium chloride (1 mM), magnesium chloride (1 mM), methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside (50 μM), 2-[4-(2-hydroxy ethyl)1-piperazinyl]ethanesulfonic acid (10 mM), and tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (5 mM)) to prepare a buffer solution for intake. A buffer solution for intake without a test compound was prepared for a control group. A buffer solution for basal intake without a test compound containing choline chloride (140 mM) instead of sodium chloride for measuring the basal intake was prepared as well.

After removing the pretreatment buffer solution, the buffer solution for intake was added (25 μl per well) and incubated at 37° C. for two hours. After removing the buffer solution for intake, a buffer solution for washing (buffer solution of pH 7.4 containing choline chloride (140 mM), potassium chloride (2 mM), calcium chloride (1 mM), magnesium chloride (1 mM), methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside (10 mM), 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinyl] ethanesulfonic acid (10 mM), and tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (5 mM)) was added (200 μl per one well). The mixture was immediately removed. This washing operation was carried out once more. 0.5% Sodium lauryl sulfate was added (25 μl per well) to solubilize the cells. Seventy five μl of Microscint 40 (manufactured by PerkinElmer, Inc.) was added to the solubilized cell and the radiation activity was measured using a microscintillation counter TopCount (manufactured by Perkin Elmer, Inc.). The value obtained by subtracting the basal intake amount from the intake amount of the control group was defined as 100%. The concentration for 50% inhibition of the above value (IC₅₀ value) was calculated from a concentration-inhibition curve using the least squares method. As a result, the compound of the present invention exhibited a strong effect of inhibiting a Na+-glucose cotransporter activity. The IC₅₀ values of typical compounds of the present invention are shown in Table 40. TABLE 40 Compound IC₅₀ (nM) Example 117 13 Example 134 14 Example 141 3.8 Example 142 21 Example 150 6.5 Example 174 6.6

Test Example 2

[Hypoglycemic Activity Confirmation Test]

Fed KK-A^(y) mice (CLEA Japan, Inc., male) were used. The test compound was suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose solution to a concentration of 1 mg/10 ml. The weight of each mouse was measured. The test compound suspension was orally administered to the mice at a dose of 10 ml/kg. Only 0.5% methylcellulose solution was administered to the mice of a control group. Each group consisted of six mice. Blood was collected from the tail vein immediately before administering the compound and one, two, four, and eight hours after administering the compound. The blood glucose value was measured using a glucose CII Test Wako (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.). The intensity of hypoglycemic activity was determined by calculating the area under the blood glucose value-time curve (AUC) using a trapezoidal method from the glucose value of 0-8 hours after administering the compound and calculating the rate (%) of the decrease in the AUC of the drug-administered group from that of the control group.

As a result, the compound of the present invention exhibited a strong hypoglycemic activity. The hypoglycemic activity of typical compounds of the present invention are shown in Table 41. TABLE 41 Compound Hypoglycemic activity (%) Example 134 39 Example 141 34 As a result of Test Examples 1 and 2, compounds of the present invention showed a remarkable effect by inhibiting a Na⁺-glucose cotransporter activity and a strong hypoglycemic activity. Therefore, it is expected that compounds of the present invention can serve as an antidiabetic medicine having the same or higher effect in comparison with the conventional antidiabetic medicines.
